How to choose document management & e-signature workflow

Distinguish DMS from cloud storage: if you need approvals, retention and audit, buy a DMS.

Check OCR quality on scanned Indian documents.

Look at on-premise options if regulation requires.

What to look for

  • Version control and check-in/out
  • OCR and full-text search
  • Metadata and folder structures
  • Approval workflows
  • Retention and legal hold
  • Scanning and capture
  • Access controls and audit logs
  • Integration with e-signature and ERP
